if you dont mind i can send some of it

[rich adder]

as long as it shows the setup / issue clearly sure

[sacred cradle]

i mean the code i did with the help of chatgpt and still that doesnt fix anything

[random lodge]

I wouldn't trust chatgpt with anything but writing stories tbh.

[rich adder]

chatgpt isnt some magical tool that will code / fix things for you.. Its doing basic assumptions based on patterns that already exists, it cannot think or does it deduce anything useful most of th etime

more like Fido

[sacred cradle]

i am trying to learn through him and unity learn site and youtube

[random lodge]

It will point you in the wrong direction though and make bad guesses.

[rich adder]

believe me, if it was a good learning tool we would be recommending it left and right.. Its not a good tool for that

there is a reason it carries a big stigma

[sacred cradle]

i can see it does alot of mistakes tbh but i try to understand and i get it mistakes now but the things which are new probably i cant understand

[naive pawn]

which is the issue - it will make mistakes, and you won't be able to catch them

just use reputable sources instead

[rich adder]

if you're new you cannot recognize the mistakes, thats the core of the problem

its a cyclic problem

[sacred cradle]

its what i am trying to do i hope this will give you the idea of screen

[rich adder]

half my convos with gpt
me: "cannot do x because xyz"
gpt: "Oh yes you're right my mistake.." *proceeds to make a even more sloppy response *

[sacred cradle]

accurate xD

[rich adder]

it may not seem like it but this is already a complicated setup, so what happening instead of what you expect?

[cosmic dagger]

If you're posting !code, use the provided links . . .

[rich adder]

is this generated? half this doesnt seem to make sense?

[rich adder]

where do we submit features for this bot?
lol its basic bitch af.. would be nice if we can make it reply a specific person instead of the invoker of command

something like !code [user] and send bot reply to them but i guess can be easily abused for spam...double edge sword of development...

[sacred cradle]

yes

[rich adder]

yeahh exactly, aint no one wants to fix that.. burn it with Fire 🔥
start fresh with code you wrote and actually understand, i think there are youtubers like SamYam that cover Input touch system

[sacred cradle]

i learned most of my coding first from chatgpt then when it works i learn it also watch some toturials at youtube

[sacred cradle]

i appreciate that bro

guess i am gonna learn alot here

[rich adder]

yes lol
welcome to development

learning new things should be 70% of your daily routines

[cosmic dagger]

I agree. Samyam has great input tutorials . . .

[sacred cradle]

i learn quite a bit of newinputsysten but i couldnt really find something in youtube covering the area of touchscreen with 50% screen giving to look they make a joystick too for lookrotation

gotta give a look to samyam

[sacred cradle]

exactly bro this code is kinda weird i myself dont like this

[gleaming turtle]

is anyone able to help me diagnose why i'm getting a jitter when looking around & moving with my character controller?
i've tried to use a preset asset for a character controller as i don't want to code my own for this small project

[rich adder]

yea maybe. If you posted the info, it would probably get you more help

" a preset asset for a character controller" needs to be more specific

common issues are usually mismatching between Update loop, Fixed Loop and Camera Loop

[ivory bobcat]

You'll probably need to provide more context

[gleaming turtle]

yeah fair enough, didn't want to type a massive thing into the channel and get ignored lol - happnened too many times before

i'm using a preset asset i found in this video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I3CXMP_PoaM

i've made sure that i'm rotating the rigidbody and player separately to the camera

[sacred cradle]

should i use rigidbody or charactercontroller for player controls?

[gleaming turtle]

I can provide code, screenshots of what's wrong, etc.

this is the code inside the CharacterLook script

    private void Update()
    {
        Vector3 look = Vector3.Scale(inputProvider.Look, sensitivity);
        rotation += look * Time.deltaTime;
        rotation.x = Mathf.Clamp(rotation.x, -89.9f, 89.9f);
        cameraRoot.localRotation = Quaternion.AngleAxis(rotation.x, Vector3.right);
        transform.localRotation = Quaternion.AngleAxis(rotation.y, Vector3.up);

[ivory bobcat]

Usually camera jittering is resolved by using interpolation mode with moving objects

[gleaming turtle]

depends on what you want for your game

[rich adder]

there is no right anwser here

each has pros and cons

[gleaming turtle]

i've got my rigidbody set to interpolate but not fixed. and i'm getting jitter with objects that aren't even moving lol, just anything

[sacred cradle]

if my game is more focused on player controls maybe like cod or cs2

[primal trench]

what are some approaches for a weapon system with a lot of weapons with animations

[rich adder]

Scriptable Objects

[sacred cradle]

i am kinda familiar with rigidbody settings tough

[gleaming turtle]

rigidbody if a big part of your game is physics based - if you want your character to react to the physics engine, whereas if you don't need realistic physics reactions then you can do character controller

[primal trench]

how'd i store animations and models in that?

[rich adder]

its not just "the settings" but how they behave, interact etc.

[rich adder]

the same way you store any other asset

& access withvar myAnimation = mySo.GunAnimation

ScriptableObjects are similar to regular classes (well they are technically), they should just not reference scene components.. the rest is fair game

[primal trench]

is there an animation class?

[rich adder]

sure for Animation clip type
https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.2/Documentation/ScriptReference/AnimationClip.html

though you typically can grab an entire controller as well

[ivory bobcat]

Rigid body physics will be using the Rigid body physics system (more applicable for actual physics where you're rolling a ball or something). Character Controller is a tool for providing basic locomotion and basic collision detection/responses (you'll need to implement some stuff yourself). Rigid body in kinematic mode would give you full physics detection without simulating anything (if you're just needing detection and implementing your own game physics).

[primal trench]

-# god i hate 3D animation
thanks :)

[ivory bobcat]

Not sure. Normally you'd just have physics applied in the Fixed Update, Input detected in update and camera movement in late update (if it's moving). I'm assuming your camera is moving.

[gleaming turtle]

camera is a child of cameraroot which is being rotated. it's first person controller so yes camera is moving.

i'll try changing the cameraroot rotation to lateupdate

[rich adder]

use Cinemachine and half the worries about camera and update loops is slashed in half..

[twin pivot]

Cinemachine == "life";

[rich adder]

best investment unity made, that and textmesh pro.. life changers

thats when unity was still making good decisions at the corporate / management levels

[cosmic dagger]

I second the use of SOs, especially if you want individual stats for each weapon instance . . .

[gleaming turtle]

okay just looked into cinemachine and turns out the character controller i'm using actually uses cinemachine but didn't mention that part. however, on the prefab i'm seeing this

[slender nymph]

this isn't a code question, but it's likely that the asset you are using was designed with cinemachine 2 but your project might have cinemachine 3 installed and there are some breaking changes. if that is the case then you'd need to go through and change the relevant stuff https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.cinemachine@3.1/manual/CinemachineUpgradeFrom2.html

[rich adder]

Cinemachine 2.x implemented the CM pipeline on a hidden GameObject child of the vcam, named "cm". This has been removed in CM 3.0, and CM pipeline components (such as OrbitalFollow or RotationComposer) are now implemented directly as components on the CinemachineCamera GameObject. You can access them as you would any other components: GetCinemcachineComponent() is no longer necessary, just use GetComponent().

[pliant lion]

what is best way to move character in 3d enviornment

[slender nymph]

there is no "best", it entirely depends on your needs. there are plenty of tutorials for character movement and even plenty of premade assets that do most of the work for you so just find something that suits your needs

[pliant lion]

i would appreciate if you can provide me with some links to website to yt videos to understand

[pliant lion]

okayyy

[slow blaze]

hey so I have a parent object
and it has a child with a collider on it
I grabbed the collider with GetComponentinChildren<>()
Now can I call smth like OnTriggerEnter2D with that collider?

[keen dew]

Are you trying to check if that collider is currently overlapping something else?

[languid pagoda]

Anyways to figure out what the engle between a vector3 and an objects forward direction?

[slow blaze]

I'm checking if the collider hit the enemy
I have a melee weapon with a pivot, the weapon scales from the pivot so it kind of extends forward and it has its own collider, if the weapon hits an enemy I want that trigger to register in the code in the pivot

if that doesn't make sense I'll just make it in the weapon itself

[keen dew]

Why can't you just use OnTriggerEnter

[slow blaze]

I did, but it's not regestering (I'm using it in the pivott not the weapon itself)

[cosmic quail]

i'd just use Physics.CheckBox tbh

it's more accurate than a trigger

[keen dew]

If the weapon has the collider you want to check and the pivot has the code you want to run then have the weapon call a function on the pivot when it registers the hit

[devout turret]

I just started, how do I open a code file lol

        return Mathf.Clamp(input, -1f, 1f);
    }

anyone see a problem with my logic? the steering just goes back and fourth between -1 and 1 its not really working as intended.

[junior basin]

Hey there, does anyone know why a part of this script is grayed out?

[languid pagoda]

because you're not calling SpawnEnemy(); anywhere see how it says 0 references?

its basically visual studios way to tell you its safe to be deleted

but that doesn't really apply for unity

[junior basin]

Ah that makes sense, I getcha

[languid pagoda]

because if you're calling it in start or awake it might still be grayed out

[hallow acorn]

hey im just learning stateMachines and got my state machine working mostly. i got an attack state which i dont know how to implement. because attacking should be possible while walking so how would i transition to the state?

am i supposed to make a second state machine for cases like attacking or using spells etc?

[naive pawn]

this should be handled correctly if your ide is configured properly. known messages won't be marked unused.

[sage wyvern]

I need help, anybody got a video on soulslike movement?

[naive pawn]

do you have any examples of that? afaik that just should not happen at all, given that the grayed out method marks it being unused, and calling it in another method would make it well, used

[cosmic quail]

youtube does

[languid pagoda]

idk ide is configured fine but awake and update etc still grayed out.

[sage wyvern]

i can't find any 😭

they are all videos on how they make it

not on how i can make it

[naive pawn]

what ide are you using?

[cosmic quail]

is that not the same thing

[languid pagoda]

visual studio 2022

[naive pawn]

that should handle unity messages just fine. are they not showing up in blue?

[sage wyvern]

No, if they show how they make it they don't show the code and how they do some stuff, if they show how i can make it they go into detail and show everything they do

[cosmic quail]

maybe look for dev logs, those sometimes dont show code and just explain what they did

[sage wyvern]

hmm, 😭

[cosmic quail]

wait do you mean you want to see the code? i'm a bit confused

[sage wyvern]

i want a video on how they do it and they show them coding and explaining it.

[cosmic dagger]

Yes, I would create a separate state machine for attacking . . .

[hallow acorn]

okay thank you

[sage wyvern]

anybody maybe just got tips on soulslike movement?

like what should i definitly add

and what can i choose

[cosmic quail]

there are videos for exactly that though, like this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jR0LNvesnOE

[sage wyvern]

thx

[rich adder]

part 151 lord.

[sage wyvern]

😭 frrr

luckily it's only bout the movement

[cosmic dagger]

It's just regular movement. You control the speed (move/turn) through variables. That'll give you a certain feel or style of play . . .

[sage wyvern]

it's not completely regular tho, you got the dashing, and other stuff

[polar acorn]

I really wish these things would stop calling themselves tutorials and just call themselves "devlogs" which they are

[cosmic dagger]

Yes, like almost every other game. The feel (speed) of the movement is what makes the games different . . .

[sage wyvern]

true

[cosmic quail]

it's probably so that people looking for tutorials to copy code from will also find this video, I guess

[cosmic dagger]

With separate state machines, you can overlap to allow attacking while running or jumping . . .

[polar acorn]

Yes and then we have to deal with the fallout from that

[slow blaze]

hey guys I have a question
I have a weapon that's supposed to be always invisble (sheathed) until I press some input to do the attack sequence and actually show the weapn and stuff, how can I do that?
I want to disable the spriteRenderer and collider components as a way to do that, are there other options? would it be better to disable the object and awaken it from another object?

[ivory bobcat]

Lookup Unity tutorials on Animator states

[slow blaze]

I'm not using an animator

[ivory bobcat]

I've got to go but for better support maybe you should provide further context otherwise it's pretty open ended.

[cosmic quail]

if disabling the sprite renderer and collider works, then that's fine. disabling the gameobject does pretty much the same thing

[slow blaze]

 private IEnumerator PhaseThreeAttack(Vector3 minimumScale, Vector3 maximumScale,float scaleRate)
    {
        hasAttacked = true;
        float originalScaleRate = scaleRate;
        Vector3 originalScale = transform.localScale;
        Vector3 newScale = originalScale;
        while(newScale.x < maximumScale.x)
        {
            newScale = Vector3.Lerp(minimumScale, maximumScale, scaleRate);
            scaleRate += Time.deltaTime;
            transform.localScale = newScale;
            yield return null;
        }
        yield return new WaitForSeconds(0.1f);
        
        scaleRate = originalScaleRate;
        while (newScale.x > minimumScale.x)
        {
            newScale = Vector3.Lerp(maximumScale, minimumScale, scaleRate);
            scaleRate +=Time.deltaTime;
            transform.localScale = newScale;
            yield return null;
        }
        
        yield return new WaitForSeconds(0.3f);
        this.gameObject.SetActive(false);
        hasAttacked = false;
    }```
this is basically the attack code

```C#
 if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown(1))
        {
            if(!hasAttacked)
            {
                
                Vector3 objectScale = transform.localScale;
                Vector3 targetScale = new Vector3(1.6f, 0.5f, 1);
                float scaleRate = 0.8f;
                StartCoroutine(PhaseThreeAttack(objectScale,targetScale, scaleRate));
            }```

this is it's call

I want to disable and enable the object on right mouse click like so but disabling the object makes this script disabled too thus it is not awakened again.

[slow blaze]

disabling the gameObject also disables the script so I can't really reenable it

[cosmic quail]

then just disable the sprite renderer and collider and whatever other components it has that should be disabled

[slow blaze]

so I will just attack the script to another gameObject that won't get disabled I guess, though I will try disabling the rendeder and collider first.

[rugged beacon]

is there a equivalent to Resources.LoadAll<Sprite> but without requiring to create a resource folder?

[rich adder]

addressables most likely

[rugged beacon]

i tried it and it created another addresable folder

#if UNITY_EDITOR
    [Button]
    public void FetchSprites()
    {
        // Sprites = Resources.LoadAll<Sprite>("Skewer");
    }
#endif

this is what i try to do

[rich adder]

should prob just explain usecase

[rugged beacon]

i want the sprite thingys remain in its graphic sprites folder

[rich adder]

Doesnt addressable let you do that you just link it to a Group ?

without needing dedicated folder

you technically can use File.IO too but idk just seems dirty

[rugged beacon]

no idea, havent use it before but when i tick the addressable box in the inspector, it said need to be move to addressable folder

usually i just shift hold multiple objects and drag to inspector but this package completely change the inspector list and doesnt allow drag multiple anymore

[rich adder]

what do you mean..

[rich adder]

i recalled you can fine..

Enable the Addressable checkbox in the Inspector window for either the asset itself or for its parent folder.
only if it lived in Resources
If you make an asset in a Resources folder Addressable, Unity moves the asset out of the Resources folder. You can move the asset to a different folder in your Project, but you cannot store Addressable assets in a Resources folder.
https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.addressables@2.7/manual/get-started-make-addressable.html

but this seems overkil , you should be able to just drag and drop them if its not a special usecase

[rugged beacon]

like i can just select these and drag, in a serializefield array

not anymore

[rich adder]

yes why can't you just do that for sprites?

[rugged beacon]

his package completely change the inspector list and doesnt allow drag multiple anymore

even odin

[rich adder]

whos package ? what?

[rugged beacon]

currently tri inspector, but im looking at a odin inspector project also

cant drag them anymore

[rich adder]

if it doesn't support multi-selected item drop in...that would be pretty trash..

[rugged beacon]

dang i heard odin is very standard

[rich adder]

ehh depends on the uses

[rugged beacon]

but i will look into addresabble

[rich adder]

thats still probably not a good usecase here.. you should probably get a good working inspector

are whatever attributes they have even worth breaking the workflow?

[rugged beacon]

should probably get a good working inspector
wym

mean i should rip these package out ?

[rich adder]

I dont understand whats wrong with just using the regular inspector? is there something specific you want

half the time I'm not even looking at the inspector lol

[rugged beacon]

considering it, this package allow me to easier use serializeReference and modify the list view less cluster, i dont have very deep knowledge into drawer

[rich adder]

idk is having that worth breaking the array drag n drop feature?

Maybe something you need to enable or something? I find it puzzling that a Unity asset would break such a needed feature

using inspector is the way to go anyway, using Resources / Addressables is overkill here esp to skirt around an asset breaking something

[rugged beacon]

i only need to fetch once in editor so should be fine

[old karma]

ok i feel like im missing something obvious.
so i have a game object that on it's root is made to look at the camera via transform.lookat.
meanwhile im trying to rotate the sprite renderer within it by the z axis.

however when i set it in script, my results gets weird, sometimes giving me the mirrored direction of where i wanted it pointed towards.
how do i sort this out, cause i feel like im missing something obvious

on the root is simply a script that runs the look at to point at the camera.
cs transform.LookAt(cam.transform.position);

in the sprite child, even though i wanted to only rotate the z axis to allow the root to handle the rest, it doesn't go that way.

the closest i got was this. this aims in the correct direction for me, but for some reason it ignores the rotation on it's parent script. and just goes flat when i rotate around it.
cs transform.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(0,0,angle)

so... yeah

[rain solar]

how do i program physics simulated clay

[rocky canyon]

metaballs

softbodies

[frosty hound]

Sure, you can freely change the sprite on the SpriteRenderer component in code.

[old karma]

figured it out, iw as definitely overlooking. i wanted tranform local rotation with eulers. (also the sprite was using needed a rotation offset to make it look like it's going in the right direction)

[sand field]

Feel like I am going crazy, why is the game saying the playerTarget Transform is itself (En_SculptedDemon) instead of the correct game object assigned in the GUI (Player)

using UnityEngine;

public class EnemyChase : MonoBehaviour
{
    public Transform playerTarget;
    private CharacterController enemyController;

    public float moveSpeed = 20f;
    private Vector3 direction;
    // Start is called once before the first execution of Update after the MonoBehaviour is created
    void Start()
    {
        playerTarget = GetComponent<Transform>();
        enemyController = GetComponent<CharacterController>();
    }

    // Update is called once per frame
    void FixedUpdate()
    {
        MoveEnemyTowardsPlayer();
    }

    private void MoveEnemyTowardsPlayer()
    {
        direction = (playerTarget.position - transform.position).normalized;
        Debug.Log("playerTarget.position" + playerTarget.position + playerTarget.name);
        enemyController.Move(direction * moveSpeed * Time.deltaTime);
        Debug.Log("transform.position" + transform.position);
    }
}

[random lodge]

So instead of modifying a variable from another script, it's better to call a function, right? Is there a time when it's "good practice" to modify a public variable from another script?

[slender nymph]

really just when you need to. but typically you would use properties rather than public fields. properties also get rid of the need for manual get/set methods that some other languages recommend

[random lodge]

So just do it if you need to but "try not to if you can help it" I guess.

https://pastebin.com/yAaybB58
Any reason as to why my enemies stop spawning after like 5 spawn? something around that. I made sure to check if game state is being set to over but its not its always playing.

[frosty hound]

Yeah, you can manually call and play an animation state by name.

[willow iron]

lists are the version of arrays that can be expanded during runtime right?

[rocky canyon]

Lists are closely related to arrays, collecting multiple values of the same type in a single variable. They are much easier to deal with when it comes to adding, removing, and updating elements, but their elements aren’t stored sequentially. This can sometimes lead to a higher performance cost over arrays.
yessir

[potent hornet]

Does anyone have any tips on reducing lag that OpenCV does when reading hand inputs. I did a project where I could read hand inputs outside of Unity with python and I don't remember that lagging at all. But with Unity using OpenCV whenever the camera comes on sometimes there's lag spikes.

I'm wondering if there's any tips or code I can remove to help reduce it

[cosmic dagger]

In your code, you assign playerTarget using GetComponent, which checks for the component on this GameObject (the one the script is attached to). Basically, you assign it to itself, which overrides what was originally assigned via the inspector . . .

[rocky canyon]

^ chatgpt likes to do that alot.. (it'll give u a public or serialized field to assign in the inspector) but it'll also add a GetComponent in the Start() or Awake() for whatever reason it decides to do that

[cosmic dagger]

No, accessing an internal field from another script is never good practice. It's called encapsulation. Use a property or a method to change the field

This helps if you need to check/set limits, send an event, etc. Directly assigning its value from an outside script bypasses that

When you use dot notation, the members that appear indicate what you're allowed to control, hiding unnecessary or internal data that the class is responsible for maintaining . . .

[cosmic dagger]

Really? That's sabotage. GPT on another level . . .

[cosmic dagger]

A list is one of many collections that can expand. It does not have a set size . . .

[random lodge]

So if I want to for example -1 HP from an enemy from another script just add TookDamage() in the script and call that from the other script? That's the right way? Maybe not the best example but just as an example.

[cosmic dagger]

Yeah, this is normal. You'd check if the collided object is an enemy or IDamageable (when using an interface). Then access the component/interface to call ApplyDamage(value) . . .

[random lodge]

gotcha, thanks 🙂

can't say whats the best as i kinda learned debugging along the way.. but can't beat starting at Unity itself

[proper trench]

Thanks, I'll take a look a their documentation!

[cosmic dagger]

😂 🤣

[rocky canyon]

"Redundancy" it says

[torpid jetty]

Has Unity stated what version of C# they're potentially upgrading to once they get around to upgrading the scripting system to .NET Core?

[slender nymph]

it is supposed to be whatever is the latest release at the time

[torpid jetty]

I see, thanks

[rain solar]

how do i program physics simulated clay

[teal viper]

Define what it means first, break it down into smaller steps/logic and implement it.

[mighty peak]

anyone know whats happend now?

its was working fine before 20sec

and cleancode doesnt solve it

[rich adder]

there are two namespaces withButton class. It doesn't know which to use

[mighty peak]

you mean about public button?

[rich adder]

yes thats why I said Button

[mighty peak]

also i didnt find button field in unity

[mighty peak]

and how should i make 2 buttons?

[rich adder]

what does that have to do with the error ?

[mighty peak]

also what about image error?

just there is 1 image

[rich adder]

did you not also lookup the error you have ? it explains whats wrong..
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/misc/cs0104

the quantity of the fields have nothing to do with the error

[mighty peak]

no but i mean the button error becouse i have 2 button so what about image?

just have1

[rich adder]

okay so you read nothing and just making shit up?

[mighty peak]

for c# no

since 1 years

before yes

some errors which i get at this time

[rich adder]

nowhere did I mention c#. I'm talking about the link I just sent

[mighty peak]

its for c# so

[rich adder]

great..so .. did you not click it and maybe informing yourself about the error instead of making it up why it error

[sour fulcrum]

c# is chsarp

[rich adder]

the error has nothing to do with how many Button references you have...
UnityEngine.UI & UnityEngine.UIElements namespaces both Have Image and Button. The compiler has no idea which ones you are trying to reference from

[mighty peak]

couse it was working i didnt change anything and when thats happend to me normally be compilor or ide issue so

thats why im asking

[mighty peak]

oh

[rich adder]

however it got there, its there.. hence the error

[mighty peak]

i thougt you talking about the variable not imports

yes its solved

[rich adder]

I specifically said namespaces multiple times and the link of error sent mentions them, nowhere is variables mentioned

[mighty peak]

couse i dont know what "namespace" mean here so i asked about public button and you said yes

Anyway there's no errors now should i find button Field now?

[rich adder]

when you're not sure what something is look it up & ask for clarification.. anyway if you fixed the compile error just drop in the reference to component through the inspector

[mighty peak]

where ? 🙂

[rich adder]

unsaved changes, compile errors, wrong namespaces was used for them.
check all of them

[mighty peak]

nothing but i will try attach again

[mighty peak]

same

[rich adder]

same what? I told you where to check

[mighty peak]

i mean still same thing

send code?

[rich adder]

prove all 3

[mighty peak]

no errors and attach &save and namespace i will send code now

using JetBrains.Annotations;
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEditor.UI;
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.UIElements;

public class player : MonoBehaviour
{
    public Rigidbody2D rb;
    public Image leftbtn;
    Vector2 xdirection;
    public Button leftb;
    public Button rightb;

    void Start()
    {
    }

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {
        if (Input.GetButtonDown("Button"))
        {

            Debug.Log("left");
            transform.Translate(Vector2.left * 0.5f);
        }

        /*
        xdirection = new Vector2(Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal"), 0);
        rb.velocity = xdirection * 600 * Time.deltaTime;
 */
    }
}

[rich adder]

wrong namespace
also when someone asks to prove something you normally provide visuals, taking your word isn't proof for someone else.

[naive pawn]

why do you have UnityEditor.UI included

[rich adder]

also thats another issue ^

probably half those namespaces don't need to be there

[mighty peak]

i think its automatically imports

[naive pawn]

you chose to import this one from autocomplete

it's most likely not what you want

[rich adder]

you gotta pay attention to those things

some namespaces like that one left unchecked from UnityEditor would prevent you to build any executables..

[mighty peak]

i let copilor do that for safe time 🙂

[naive pawn]

it's now costing you time because it's writing bullshit and you don't know how to fix it

[mighty peak]

so should i replace it with which one just unityeditor ui?

[naive pawn]

genAI are power tools. if you don't know how to use them properly you'll end up injuring yourself

[mighty peak]

no its will be fine when i differentiating bettwen them

[rich adder]

there are 3 that don't belong

[naive pawn]

you're a beginner. you do not have the experience necessary, period.

[mighty peak]

which?

[naive pawn]

just stay away from genAI until you get the experience. it'll be hurting more than helping.

[mighty peak]

🙂

[rich adder]

two are grayed out in the IDE. the third is the UI Toolkit one that had Image/Button in it

[mighty peak]

i mean which should i delet?

[naive pawn]

the ones that are grayed out and the extra one that nav mentioned

[mighty peak]

its mean its not used so why its should make this issue?

[naive pawn]

for both that are unused - you'll end up with suggestions from these namespaces, which will be noise for the actual types you want.
for the UnityEditor one - just including it without conditionals will make it fail builds.
for the UIElements one - you are using the wrong namespace so you're getting the wrong type.

[mighty peak]

there is no errors just there is no button fields also so will it fix if i changed ui import?

i will try something :/

[naive pawn]

see the bot message

[mighty peak]

Ok its works with change it to just ui but how i can make if this button down is specific variable?

[naive pawn]

you would use callbacks for that

perhaps check out the UI guides

https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.ugui@2.0/manual/UIInteractionComponents.html

[mighty peak]

nocodes in it for that

[naive pawn]

the onclick event is accessible through code

not everything is going to be spoonfed to you

[mighty peak]

for movement i need it up and down so

[naive pawn]

so go research how to do that then

[mighty peak]

6 hours of searching for now i think 🙂

[modest harness]

I'm making a camera drag functionality, like if you were dragging a map
and i went crazy to figure out why it was not moving 1:1
it turns out this was happening because of "Scale"
and it looks like this part of unity editor has no api?

So my questions are: is this how game window is scaled in engine too (like if you shrink/expand the window) or is this purely editor future? should i be worried about Unity Input system Drag [Delta] breaking if the window size changes in compiled game?

[eager spindle]

This is purely an editor feature

[mighty peak]

And nothing

Just do script for every button with pointer

And i need to make it in same player script so

[cunning bramble]

Hi it is hard for me to explain this :) but it try

So what i need is an tutorial or someyone that could help me i want an item pickup code / system so when i am near to an object that i can press E or what ever and it gets picked up and i can drag it around any good tutorials because i dont finde an single one that works :(
pls ping me

[frail hawk]

oh boi seems like you found that code somewhere and want us to clean it up for you.

[cunning bramble]

nope

so i watched this tutorial

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pPcYr3tL3Sc&ab_channel=JonDevTutorials

and he said you can get the code from the discribion

[grand snow]

so yes you want us to fix some random tutorial code 😆
Its clear this beginner code anyway from how its written

[cunning bramble]

i am beginner

or what do you mean by the last sentence

Okay i am looking for an new video

[fallen hound]

Hey if i learn this video is it possible that i will be able to code in unity?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GhQdlIFylQ8

[grand snow]

This tries to use physics but also moves the object without physics so kinda shit

[cunning bramble]

okay

so do you know schedule1 @grand snow

I want the pysics from the game

because it is made funny

[grand snow]

A better way is to use force/change velocity to move the object towards the "hold position"

I dont sorry

[frail hawk]

video is really old but you will still learn many things

[fallen hound]

Do you think its enough to start me? I am not trying to make triple a games but just have fun and small projects

[cunning bramble]

@grand snow does this would work?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K06lVKiY-sY&ab_channel=Rytech

[frail hawk]

it is ok for now other than that you can check the pinned messages on this channel to learn more c# basics

[fallen hound]

Thanks!

[grand snow]

I check this video briefly and it shows how to move the object with physics which I think is better

[mighty peak]

hi if someone know how can I make specific ui button get down and up in same script please told me because I'm tiered from searching:)

[cunning bramble]

Okay i have it but the script dosent work :((

[quasi dawn]

Wdym get down and up? By scale or position?
Also what are the requirements for that? If it's a click then you could use the button's onClick event to make it go up

[silver fern]

whats the script

[cunning bramble]

I am writing it new so give me 5 min

[mighty peak]

Down like hold up like leave it

Not one click

[naive pawn]

for input? sounds like you'd want onscreen controls for that

[civic pebble]

hey guys, anyone got any experience with Cinemachine transitions? I got them to work already but right now it seems to memorize where the camera was before and always transitions back to that state, and I would like it to reset behind the player/vehicle so the transition is always consistant.

[cunning bramble]

Guys this might be an DUMB Question but what did i wrong in this part

**ERROR: **
Invalid expression term ")" Line 21

**CODE: **
if (Physics.Raycast(transform.position, transform.TransformDirection(Vector3.forward), out hit, pickupRange,))

[naive pawn]

there's a stray , there

[rocky canyon]

u have a , at the end

[cunning bramble]

ahhh xD

Thanks didnt saw that

now i test it out

Urm okay so in unity i see that i have spelling errors like Tranform instad of Transform but my Editor didnt catch that is there anyway to add that?

[rocky canyon]

!ide yea ur ide shoulda underlined the extra ,

btw you can just use transform.forward instead of transform.TransformDirection(Vector3.forward)

[cunning bramble]

Sorry again but

[cunning bramble]

I am just using an Tutorial beacuse i need to learn it for my future job and also i like making games xDD
But i will try it out

[cunning bramble]

I dont find the Visual studio thing

[naive pawn]

you are in the assets tab

[naive pawn]

it's probably gonna be one of these

[cunning bramble]

Got it i guesss

[naive pawn]

nope, wrong one

it's the one below that

[cunning bramble]

Yes the lower one

i have it now

Still no chatch

catch

[naive pawn]

there are several other steps

[cunning bramble]

yes i have these extensions in Studio

uhhrrmm okay nah i just leave it like this unity is catching so it shouldnt be an problem :)

[naive pawn]

nope, configure your ide. it is a requirement to get help here

[cunning bramble]

so what should i do now :(

[naive pawn]

have you installed .net

[cunning bramble]

BOMMBOO CLLLATTT your right i need to bc i miss spelled 13 times

Looks like it does

[naive pawn]

you've installed the .net install tool

that doesn't mean you've actually installed .net

[cunning bramble]

this?

[naive pawn]

no, .net itself isn't a vscode extension

open the command palette and install .net system wide

[cunning bramble]

I am sorry but where it the palette?

Hi there i have this tutorial and this code but it looks like it doesent work any ideas or is the tutorial just not good?

How can I copy & paste an object position in Word Scale? Whenever I try it does it in local scale and I can't figure out how to change it

via the inspector

[cunning bramble]

ah true i also have an question but i dont know how to exlpain it so sometimes 0x 0z 0y is like center of map but then other times it is like an diffrent point why?

[slow blaze]

how can I prevent an object from rotating with its parent?

how do I make it so it doesnt rotate with it

[cunning bramble]

hi i have an problem i want the object to follow the camera complettly so when i go up the item goes up also but it doesent

https://paste.mod.gg/mzovwnurnscv/0

[slow blaze]

that's because those coordinates aree relative to some object
when its relative to the world (or the map) its shown in the same point
but lets say that you have a sword as a child for the player
then the 0x 0y 0z in that case would be the center of the player, because that's the relative point to it

[cunning bramble]

okay thank you

[eternal needle]

it shouldnt be a child object if you dont want it to rotate with the parent

[slow blaze]

so not making it a child object ruins some other stuff

gueses I'll work around that and make it follow the player with a script

[shell sorrel]

If it only needs to follow position not rotation just use a component to set its position to the other objects position

[slow blaze]

yeah I will do that

btw why does the 2d camera sometimes not show the contents?

it's follolwing the player with a component with a little bit of offset in the x (player.x - 10) but I can't see anything in game

[red igloo]

Stop ❌ cross posting keep it in one channel.

[limber turtle]

how do i stop the coin (small circle) from interacting with the platforms in any way? i tried changing the collision layers so the coin excludes platforms and the platform excludes coins but this still happens

coin's collider

platform's effector

i should be using the collider mask, right? i think it was on by default

[limber turtle]

i also have this in their rigidbody2d components

[keen dew]

Go to project settings -> Physics 2D -> Layer Collision Matrix and disable the coin/platform collision there

[limber turtle]

the platform effector says it's not using the global layer collision matrix

i'll give it a try though

alright, i had to disable the platform effector's collision mask

[slow blaze]

my camera is following the player with a -60 offset

for no reason lmao there's no script tht does that

[limber turtle]

are you using cinemachine? that could be one of the default settings

[rain solar]

ive tried and it didnt work and i cant find any resources on the topic

[cunning bramble]

Hi guys can you rate my physics?

i think they are funny

[zealous talon]

hello guys: i wanted to make the scene of my game a little more "dark" so i downloaded another skybox and messed up with the lightigs, don't really know how does it work so i think i messed up a little bit. at the moment i put againt the default skybox on lighting > environment and set the directional light at its standard parameters, what should i do to reset the lightings setting at its default? at one point i think i misclicked on "generate lightings" but i m not really sure about what have i done.

[dawn iron]

hi guys why does the object falls when i baked the navmesh?

[slow blaze]

does Physics.CheckBox() return the collider it interacted with?

@zealous talon holy shit hi

[zealous talon]

omg

[naive pawn]

this kind of question is what docs are for 😉
https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.2/Documentation/ScriptReference/Physics.CheckBox.html

[slow blaze]

yeah I read that just wanted to make sure since I needed the collider

I'll create a new collider to interact with then it's supposed to be an AOE kind of thing

[naive pawn]

you would use OverlapBox/OverlapBoxNonAlloc instead

[slow blaze]

oh overlap box

[zealous talon]

i want to put a field of grass instead of the water, any tips of how can i do that?

[rocky canyon]

a terrain w/ grass brush as default ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[zealous talon]

could it be performative inefficient?

[rocky canyon]

terrains are prettty optimized..
if u were worried about that you could just use the Default Plane and a tileable texture

[winged ridge]

Do you have a rigid body attached? If so disable gravity on the object, also if it's a static terrain enable the static option near the name on the inspector

[slow blaze]

quick question :)
can I display that Box to the player ingame? like change the colour of that area?

[naive pawn]

not directly through the OverlapBox call, you'd have to have something to actually render the box

[slow blaze]

so I'd have to add a Rendeder to the object attached to the call's script?

[zealous talon]

i saw on youtube that you can do it adding a terrain, then in edit setting add a grass texture and then painting on the terrain. which grass texture should i take?

[rocky canyon]

check out the asset store they have lots of free materials/textures

[slate heath]

Hey guys so i'm trying to use a material and uvs to set a texture but for some reason I think it every mesh:

(every material)

I don't know why this is happening, could someone help me?

[grand snow]

what you said doesnt really make sense and wrong channel
goto #1391720450752516147

[rocky canyon]

just looks like a really really dense texture tiling

[slate heath]

i forgot to do / tileSize

mb guys

[rocky canyon]

all textures look like that when they're scaled too far down

get that fractal look

[slate heath]

now I just have more bugs 👍

[rocky canyon]

heck ya.. sounds like a party 🍻

[slow blaze]

Is there a default Circle texture/sprite in unity?

[slate heath]

well, it kinda works now xD

[rocky canyon]

not really.. theres a "knob" but its nasty rasterized with a border

[molten vortex]

Hey I am trying to create a Sim-style camera system that rotate the camera around the focal point. Currently I have the focal point face the cameras to keep the relative axises the same. However, in some positions, the camera rotation Up/down either inverts or just stops and I do not know how to fix this.

[rocky canyon]

need to Clamp it somehow

https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.2/Documentation/ScriptReference/Mathf.Clamp.html
pitch = Mathf.Clamp(pitch, minPitch, maxPitch); something like this may work

[molten vortex]

I was gonna try to figure that out after it actually moved corretly

Im guessing the rotateAround method isnt the way to go

[rocky canyon]

i'd work that out now and see if the issue still persists afterwards

[keen dew]

You'll have to show the code if you want someone to suggest fixes

[rocky canyon]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rnqF6S7PfFA i used this tutorial a while back

not sure its sim enough.. but it helped me out

[molten vortex]

using System;
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.InputSystem;

public class cameraController : MonoBehaviour
{
    public float rotationSpeed = 10.0f;
    public GameObject focalPoint;
    
    private InputAction _lookAction;
    private InputAction _enableLook;
    private float _distance = 10f;
    
    // Start is called once before the first execution of Update after the MonoBehaviour is created
    void Start()
    {
        Cursor.lockState = CursorLockMode.Locked;
        _lookAction = InputSystem.actions.FindAction("Look");
        _enableLook = InputSystem.actions.FindAction("EnableLook");
    }

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {
        if (_enableLook != null && _enableLook.IsPressed())
        {
            Vector2 lookDelta = _lookAction.ReadValue<Vector2>();
            
            // translate UP/Down
            //if ((25 <= transform.rotation.eulerAngles.x || lookDelta.y < 0) && (75 >= transform.rotation.eulerAngles.x ||  lookDelta.y > 0))
            //{
            transform.RotateAround(focalPoint.transform.position, Vector3.right, rotationSpeed * Time.deltaTime * lookDelta.y);
            //}
            
            // Translate left/right
            transform.RotateAround(focalPoint.transform.position, Vector3.up, Time.deltaTime * rotationSpeed * lookDelta.x);
            
            // look at it
            transform.LookAt(focalPoint.transform.position);
            focalPoint.transform.LookAt(transform.position);
            
        }

    }
}

[keen dew]

If this is mouse look, don't multiply by deltatime. But that's a separate issue

Vector3.right is in world space, you need to rotate around focalPoint.right

[molten vortex]

ahhh

[keen dew]

focalPoint.transform.right I mean

Actually probably transform.right if the focal point doesn't rotate along with the camera

[hard tapir]

Hello, Im new to c# and I have a triangle In my scene (2d) that I want to duplicate once it hits a cube named dupicate (already assigned rigitbody and colliders). I was told to use the Instantiate command but all of the tutorials I found were for 3d and for creating objects from ur assets which im not. this script is under the triangle object, if you could link some good tutorials for this itll be great!

[keen dew]

It's still Instantiate even if it's 2d and the object is in the scene

[hard tapir]

oh, well thank you

[rocky canyon]

^ and u use a reference regardless if its a prefab in ur assets or from the scene..
u get a reference to it and stick it in the instantiation method

    public GameObject triangleReference;

    private void OnCollisionEnter2D(Collision2D collision)
    {
        GameObject hitObject = collision.gameObject;

        // Duplicate the object that hit us
        Instantiate(hitObject, hitObject.transform.position, hitObject.transform.rotation);

        // Duplicate this GameObject (the one with this script)
        Instantiate(gameObject, transform.position, transform.rotation);

        // Duplicate the reference at the current position and rotation
        Instantiate(triangleReference, transform.position, transform.rotation);
    }```

[hard tapir]

Thank you!

So, I've been given a script to fix as an exercise. I can kinda get it working if I make the list public instead of private, but I don't get why that matters?

[slow blaze]

is that all of the script?

I don't see how making the List public helps

[thorn kiln]

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {
        TimeToNextText += Time.deltaTime;
        Debug.Log(TimeToNextText);

        if (TimeToNextText > 1.5f)
        {
            TimeToNextText = 0.0f;

            CurrentText++;
            if (CurrentText >= TextToDisplay.Count)
            {
                Text.text = TextToDisplay[CurrentText];
                CurrentText = 0;
            }
        }
    }

There's the update section too

And thats all of it

[naive pawn]

hint: the issue is there, not in your previous screenshot

[slow blaze]

yeah the script has issues, the list being public or private is not one of them

[thorn kiln]

Weird that changing that makes a difference then

[naive pawn]

it makes the list serialized, which doesn't seem to be the intent of the script unless you have more instructions that say otherwise

ah, nvm, i see the issue now.

yeah ok there is indeed an issue with the first screenshot, and making it public does fix it, but it is most likely not the intended fix.

[slow blaze]

Oh what issue is that cuz I don't see it

[slender nymph]

||making the list serialized tells unity to create an instance for the list. it is not initialized otherwise||

[slow blaze]

Oh lmao I didn't know that

[naive pawn]

(maybe spoiler that)

[slender nymph]

it should be fairly obvious by the runtime exception thrown though

[thorn kiln]

I get errors on line 25 and 44, which is TextToDisplay.Add("Congratulation"); and if (CurrentText >= TextToDisplay.Count), which isn't super helpful if the issue is with .Add(), because the course hasn't taught that

[naive pawn]

did you read what the error said?

[slow blaze]

What's the error?

[slender nymph]

NRE

[thorn kiln]

Yes, one of the erros I don't understand.
"NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object"

[naive pawn]

if you're getting the same error on 2 lines where one has Add and the other doesn't, then it's probably not an issue with the Add

[slender nymph]

what is the first word of the exception being thrown

[naive pawn]

do you understand each of the terms in isolation? if not, which ones don't you understand?

[thorn kiln]

Vaguely. Don't understand Instance.

[naive pawn]

an instance of a type means some existing object of that type, something you might get from construction

[thorn kiln]

Yeah, it's just jargon to me

[naive pawn]

...yes, that's what jargon is

[thorn kiln]

I might know what you're saying if I saw it, but the words don't translate

[naive pawn]

0 is an instance of int, 0.0 is an instance of double
from a monobehaviour, gameObject is an instance of GameObject, transform is an instance of Transform, transform.position is an instance of Vector3

[naive pawn]

also, does this help at all

[thorn kiln]

Not really, no

[slender nymph]

try answering that question and it might actually help

[thorn kiln]

If I knew the answer I'd know the answer

[slender nymph]

you know how to read, right?

[thorn kiln]

Your condescension is very helpful

[slender nymph]

well all i'm asking right now is for you to literally read the exception and provide the first word. this is not anything technical in any way, it's just reading

[thorn kiln]

"Null"

[slender nymph]

and do you know what null means

[thorn kiln]

Nothing

[slender nymph]

and you're saying that does not give any hint as to what the issue might be?

here's a hint: ||it's null||

[thorn kiln]

It gives me a hint that I'm not connecting to an answer, do you get that?

[naive pawn]

buddy if you don't know (if our leading questions aren't effective) then just say so

we do not need to play this game of sass

[slender nymph]

in that case you need to start smaller. you are getting way ahead of yourself if you cannot even diagnose a NullReferenceException while being given some assignment to fix a script where that is one of the issues

[thorn kiln]

Okay, we've got to the point of "you're bad at this, just don't do it", so I'll just figure it out myself

[naive pawn]

also, have you tried googling "nullreferenceexception"

[slender nymph]

start with beginner c# courses, like the ones pinned in this channel to understand how the language works and what certain things (like being null and being an instance) mean

[proper bobcat]

So lets imagine we write a script that is of type Enemy. So if you created a new enemy from that blueprint, that would be an instance. An instance is a single concrete thing versus the class which is just a blueprint for how the individual instances should be and act.

[naive pawn]

that should give a lot of info, way more than we can provide here. it's also what you should do if you encounter an issue you don't know about in the future @thorn kiln

[slender nymph]

oh also this attitude of expecting everyone to spoon feed you the answers and then getting mad when it's suggested you actually learn/research yourself is not going to get you anywhere and is why you are still floundering after being here for as long as you have

[thorn kiln]

Well asking you isn't gonna get me anywhere either then in that case, so why should I care?

[naive pawn]

you aren't gonna learn ever if you only expect spoonfeeds

figuring stuff out is what learning is

[slender nymph]

except i genuinely made an effort to help you (without spoonfeeding the answer to you), but you don't understand enough of the basics to even be doing what you are attempting so rather than being pissy, you should consider learning the basics

hell, i even outright stated exactly what the issue is as my first message in this issue

[naive pawn]

more than i was willing to say, even 😆

[thorn kiln]

Yeah, foolish of me to come to the #💻┃code-beginner channel and expect anything besides people smarter than me to be condescending that I'm not as smart as them

[naive pawn]

no-one is saying that

we come to this channel with the expectation - the knowledge, even - that the people here will be very unexperienced and know relatively little

what we're asking from you is effort

and also to be less defensive, that would also help

[thorn kiln]

Here's the thing, I get it, you're all so much smarter than me at Unity and C#, but that's clearly given you egos that refuse to let you accept that the way you're trying to explain things isn't working for me, and rather than change, you just get angry at me for not learning the way you're instructing me to

[naive pawn]

no-one is angry here

[sacred cradle]

hi how do i get the objects behind the stencil shader object to not be rendered? Also how could i get everything outside the stencil layer to not be rendered in the little window?:

Shader "Examples/Stencil"
{
    Properties
    {
        [IntRange] _StencilID ("Stencil ID", Range(0, 255)) = 0
    }
    SubShader
    {
        Tags 
        { 
            "RenderType" = "Opaque"
            "Queue" = "Geometry"
            "RenderPipeline" = "UniversalPipeline"
        }

        Pass
        {
            Blend Zero One
            ZWrite Off

            Stencil
            {
                Ref [_StencilID]
                Comp Always
                Pass Replace
                Fail Keep
            }
        }
    }
}

[naive pawn]

again - please stop the overly defensive behaviour

i even said before - if our explanations don't work, say so instead of being passive aggressive

[slender nymph]

nobody is trying to be smarter than you or even angry. you are the one getting angry because we suggested that you take the time to actually put some effort into learning what is wrong.

[naive pawn]

this is the code channel, perhaps ask in #💻┃unity-talk or #1390346776804069396?

[thorn kiln]

I try, but you guys don't understand that I don't know how to explain what I don't know, and it just makes you get more condescending with each message

[naive pawn]

there was no condesension here, just further probing questions

[fickle plume]

This is why the courses and tutorials on Unity Learn are there. To even comprehend the help you are getting you need some basic understanding of the topic.

[naive pawn]

you did show that you were at least slightly able to explain what you didn't know here, when i prompted

consider that question when you want more info - which part are you having trouble understanding?

[thorn kiln]

If you don't see the condesension, then you're either blind, or you're just too smart to see how different these things come off to someone who doesn't know everything you know

[naive pawn]

no, there just.. wasn't any. there were some that perhaps could be read as such, but i assure you, no-one was being intentionally condescending

[hard tapir]

Does any1 know how to limit the speed of a 2d rigitbody object?

[thorn kiln]

I don't know how "you know how to read, right?" isn't condescending

[fickle plume]

You are struggling with the very basics of the language. And acting out when people trying to explain it to you. If you are unwilling to listen and learn then what are you doing here?

[naive pawn]

ClampMagnitude the velocity vector

[thorn kiln]

Apparently just sitting in a beginner channel with a bunch of smug people who hang out in here to say "lol, just learn better" to their lessers

[slender nymph]

this was directly in response to you saying you didn't know the answer to a question that only required you to read what you were seeing on your screen (i even went on to clarify that is what i meant)

[fickle plume]

If you would've done at lest the Essentials Pathways course you wouldn't be even asking that, because it's one of the first things you would learn.

[thorn kiln]

Yeah, if only

[hard tapir]

thanks!

[naive pawn]

do you see the irony of saying that's condescending when you'd just thrown the very passive-aggressive "If I knew the answer I'd know the answer" to a message telling you to pay attention to a certain keyword

[fickle plume]

You need to actually engage with coursework. It's not there for badges.

Understanding what reference and instance is the first thing you engage with.

[thorn kiln]

Okay, next time I'll send you a screenshot of me egaging with the coursework

[fickle plume]

I'd rather you would not continue with off-topic here. And maybe go through course work again.

[random lodge]

So I've never used AI until a few days ago and I'll have to say. It can actually offer you valid suggestions to improve what you have if you use it right. For example I wasn't sure how to use ! in a line of If code with a lot of conditions and it showed me that I could use extra () around the conditions and place the ! before that to make it work. So I learned something there.

"if you use it right" is a deceptively high bar

if you're a beginner, you will not have the capacity to use it right, tbh.

[fickle plume]

How to cheat yourself from engaging with meaningful learning material. And be content with LLM spitting out small titbits at you, that you will be so excited to find another part of that bit in another random answer. Instead of learning the whole thing from the source at once.

[pliant lion]

i want to implement sword attack in my game so should i attack collider to sword and also should i make sword child of my hand for sword to follow animation

[random lodge]

smh.

[sour fulcrum]

I think you underestimate how many people learn really awful habits and outright lies instead of actually learning

like there's tons of people who directly come in this server as a result of it

[naive pawn]

there's a lot of ways to achieve it, that would be one of them, sure. it also depends what your project is (what perspective/context, what genre)

[pliant lion]

it's kinda action adventure 3d so according to that what would be best

[naive pawn]

there's no best, period

what you suggested could work though

you could go with that, or if you think there's a better way, try searching around

[random lodge]

What other people do isn't my concern. I spent some time on Google looking on better ways to use If/conditions and didn't find the formatting I was specifically looking for to do it correctly. Another avenue worked and now I can use that knowledge to know how to and write conditions in other ways and much shorter. But drops it. Whatever. I'm dumb and none of us can use tools adequately.

[pliant lion]

okayy thanks

[proper bobcat]

A couple of different ways of doing melee swings -

1. Don't use colliders at all. You could just distance check and then do some calculations if you need to at the end of an animation. (Akin to runescape, dungeons and dragons, where its more about stats than physical collisions)
2. Use a box collider in front of you. Then do some checks at the end of the animation if anything was detected.
3. Attach a collider or shape cast to the weapon. This would be for some systems that may need to know which body part was hit, more precision, ect..

Many different ways depending on what your combat is like, requirements.

@pliant lion

[sour fulcrum]

What other people do isn't my concern
Ok well this is a code support channel so if someone does give out a poor recommendation people are going to reply with disclaimers because concern for other people is the kinda point here

[fickle plume]

To illustrate how much of the information you are missing. Instead of getting a narrow answer you should look at an actual manual page of the ! (Unary logical negation operator). https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/language-reference/operators/boolean-logical-operators And get a wealth of information about its usage and other operators as well. And while you may not remember everything, you would remember that such additional things exist and where to find them. This is what you are losing polling LLM instead.

[thorn kiln]

You see, the solution being private List<string> TextToDisplay = new List<string>(); was not helpful because the only lists I've had to make in the pathway were all public so I've never had to do this before.
When all the lists I've had to implement before just look like public List<GameObject> targets, I don't have the knowledge inside my head to make connections about why my list is giving me a NullReferenceException, and just telling me to know better is not helpful.

[naive pawn]

okkk let's not extrapolate the wrong thing

do the pathways not cover the concept of null or instances at all?

and just telling me to know better is not helpful.
you gotta stop pulling these things out of thin air, man

[thorn kiln]

Not in meaningful ways, no. They're words that are said, but not expanded on with exercises to demonstrate it.

[fickle plume]

When interacting with learning material, it's up to you to take extra steps to understand it. If you do just bare minimum this is the result you get.
If you see the usage of something under different context - look it up!

[hard tapir]

sorry to bother you but every tut Ive seen used .velocity which has been removed in unity 6+ and Idrk what to do

[naive pawn]

it's been renamed to linearVelocity, you'd use that instead

[naive pawn]

so you've seen "null" multiple times so it's clearly something important
perhaps this is something you should look up to research further 😉

[hard tapir]

oh ok

[rigid pike]

i am following a tutorial and this appeared out of nowhere and i really hate it (I'm talking about the clipping when the camera is not even close to the objects)
How do i fix it?

[frosty hound]

Not a code question. Press F to focus on the scene camera on the selected object.

[rigid pike]

thank you so much!

[rigid pike]

didn't know if it was code related i'm pretty new to unity

[zinc tundra]

Hello! Am really sorry for disturbing, anyone can help about moving my character? I can move my mouse around but my character dont move, like it doesnt have keyboard input or something. There is the code, I dont think i messed up anything serious. I really need help about that to continue my project.

[rocky canyon]

debug the inputs and find out for sure

Debug.Log($"Horizontal Inputs are: {moveH}");
Debug.Log($"Vertical Inputs are: {moveV}");

or

Debug.Log("Horizontal Inputs are: " + moveH);
Debug.Log("Vertical Inputs are: " + moveV);

[zinc tundra]

sounds good, where do i paste that? or just around the code?

[rocky canyon]

think it through..

|| probably after you assign the input/variables ||

[zinc tundra]

oooo, okay okay lemme try

[rocky canyon]

using Debugs is a good take-a-way from this...

never assume codes doing what u expect it to do..
logging messages and variables in the console window when and where something's supposed to happen can confirm

[zinc tundra]

okay so it came out it has keyboard input, since the numbers are changing depends how i press them

so wasd stuff works, what coming now?

[rocky canyon]

yea.. for GetAxisRaw it'll either show -1, 0 or 1

[zinc tundra]

yep, thats exactly that happened

[rocky canyon]

well that means ur Inputs are working...

and it must be something else

[zinc tundra]

hmm, where do i start?

wondering if Debug.Log() would work

but if theres no console error and all works, the error am searching just slips thru

[rocky canyon]

you'd want to log the values ur using for the movement

make sure those are working as they should.. and then if thats the case it may be something else.. maybe the setup..

maybe the forces/ or speed multiplier ur using is too low...

rigidbodies have friction.. if the forces aren't strong enough to move it it wont move..

you can also log the velocity of the rigidbody after ur move logics
something like Debug.Log($"RB velocity: {rb.velocity}");

[short gust]

maybe it's very stupid question: does GetComponentCount() from gameobject reference is still slow to call quite frequently as is GetComponent<T>() or similar calls? like, does it still iterate trough all components every call (like GetComponent does) or it's only changed on add/remove component and cached internally?

[rocky canyon]

also make sure u don't have any other errors or warnings in the console window..
if theres an runtime error or something sometimes it can keep the rest of the code from running the way it should

[short gust]

it seems logical to me work like I wrote with caching, but I don't know for sure if it like that in the engine, lel

[rocky canyon]

Unity's pretty good at optimizing itself.. from what i read GetComonentCount() is designed to be more efficient than creating new arrays like GetComponents().Length

Unity internally maintains the component count so calling Count shouldn't need to iterate thru all the components each time
i'd think you'd use it where you need to know the number of components attached to a GameObject without actually needing to accesss the components themselves..

never hurts to Cache things yourself tho..
if you have something thats repetitive.. make it a function.. cache it before hand... use whats cached whenever possible

Today I learned, tbh

didn't know that function existed

but if theres no console error and all works, the error am searching just slips thru
-# here's a little tip 👇 you can toggle "Collapse" in the console window and it'll make similar logs Stack so its easier to see whats going on

[cunning bramble]

hi guys i really need help and i need an video to record this

I never had something like this in my life

wait is it only on my Pc laged the video? :(

Pls ping me if you have an idea

[zinc tundra]

imma try that out

[zinc tundra]

i using default rigidbody

[rocky canyon]

well not sure but the camera is the wrong thing to be selected there..
when u stop and u continue to spin.. the camera's rotation isn't rotating

soo it has to be up the hierarchy

[cosmic quail]

i cant tell whats going on

[zinc tundra]

well my console is kinda much empty haha

[rocky canyon]

thats fine and dandy... even a default rigidbody wont move if the forces arent enough

[cunning bramble]

Okay so i interact with anything in my game and the camera is glinding a way like going on ice with 30Kmh

[rocky canyon]

for example if i do rb.AddForce(vector1); it wouldn't be strong enough to move it

at all

[cunning bramble]

Oh okay so the capsule is gliding not the camera

[rocky canyon]

well not sure but the camera is the wrong thing to be selected there..
when u stop and u continue to spin.. the camera's rotation isn't rotating

[cunning bramble]

What should i do against this?

[rocky canyon]

its not the camera... look at the Transform inspector when u start sliding away

its not moving.. so it has to be the ^ player or something above it

[cunning bramble]

Yes it is my invisible Capusle

CAPSULE name = PLAYER

But what is the problem i mean why is it doing this?

Because it isnt in my script

[rocky canyon]

movement code.. u should change it...
see whats happening.. (it appears that some vector or something is continued to be fed into it)

and if thats not the case.. maybe its b/c u are actually sliding along the ground...

[cunning bramble]

Okay thank you i am looking

the more info the better, but i must step out 🍀 goodluck

[zinc tundra]

now all got stuck lol

and theres no error line in the console

[rocky canyon]

putting a Log in there wouldn't stop the code from working like it was before..
it would just log a line to the console in the meanwhile 🤔

[zinc tundra]

it did the log, but after when the input logs started working they are stuck in one position

[rocky canyon]

thats b/c they stack on top of each other

[zinc tundra]

probably because it disappeared, yeah

i start to get it but i dont at the same time

tutorials are just literally putting the cam into the capsule, pasting in the code and tada it works

[cunning bramble]

:(

WHAT the hell is happening omg i dont understand

[rocky canyon]

did u try cranking up ur Speed/force multiplier

see if it moves w/ a greater force..

also check if the constraints aren't set to Lock it in a specific axis

[cunning bramble]

do you mean me?

[rocky canyon]

its b/c u disable ur movement script

and <insert weird something something that forces u off to the side>

[cunning bramble]

yes but i needs to be so the player dosent move when he is farming

[cunning bramble]

okay let me check

[rocky canyon]

you should instead wrap ur movement in some code or something and turn a boolean on and off

canMove = true / false; for example

and instead of disabling the entire script just set that bool to false

[cunning bramble]

Oh yes thank you good idea

[languid pagoda]

How do racing games handle AI? I tried implementing it where the AI follow a spline, each node on the spline has a predetermined throttle and breaking percentage. It works but then it all falls apart on the first turn of the 2nd lap since the cars moving faster since its a hotlap and additionally it takes an eternity to tweak each nodes breaking/throttle values.

[cunning bramble]

sorry for ping

[rocky canyon]

public class SimpleMovement : MonoBehaviour
{
    public float speed = 5f;
    public bool canMove = true;

    CharacterController cc;

    void Update()
    {
        if (canMove)
        {
        float moveX = Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal");
        float moveZ = Input.GetAxisRaw("Vertical");
        Vector3 move = new Vector3(moveX, 0, moveZ).normalized;
        cc.Move(transform.position + move * speed * Time.deltaTime);
        }
        else
        {
          // some other movement code to keep u in place
        }
    }
}```

so instead of simpleMovementScript.enabled = false
just do simpleMovementScript.canMove = false

b/c i don't know exactly whats wrong with it..
but the video is proof
when its enabled -> it works
when its disabled -> yeet

[rocky canyon]

imo the best ones use sensor arrays

vision cones etc

so they're basically driving.. not following a pre-determined path

cuz thats boring 😄

you can probably even make a hybrid of the two.. (so if it can.. it'd follow the spline)
and then when it needs to.. or its disrupted it could actually drive itself

until its back on track to rejoin the spline

sounds easy enough 🫠 ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[languid pagoda]

unity is not powerful enough to handle this 🙁

[rocky canyon]

oh it absolutely is..

i made an arcade racer a while ago that used sensor arrays

[languid pagoda]

12 cars firing off 20 raycasts/spherecasts etc wont run

[rocky canyon]

had about 15 up front and a few raycasting down to get the surface type

but the walls were basically "bumpers" like old-school Ridge Racer 😅

[cunning bramble]

I have the script but i dont see it in the inspector can you take an look poof?

[rocky canyon]

unity can handle thousands of raycasts / frame

its cause you're disabling the capsule collider

idk why you're using a capsule collider and a player controller on the same gameobject

[rocky canyon]

already told you how u can solve it

and yea... this thing is doing nothing but getting int he way and making things more complicated than they need to be

this is the Collider and the Controller

#💻┃code-beginner message

you should instead wrap ur movement in some code or something and turn a boolean on and off

Hey im trying to use VsCode and ive got a few extensions from a video I saw, but idk if they have different settings but some of the Intellisense stuff just doesnt work quite the same for me. For example in this one doing Transform. doesnt bring up any options for me to do after that? and then the second image doesnt have stuff like the purple game objects n all that

[zinc tundra]

so i added a line of making the object force to do a move..

||it didn't moved a bit||

[rocky canyon]

thats all i get too

try something like Transform.

[languid pagoda]

any reason you're just not using visual studio?

[scenic perch]

Never coded before and not sure what the difference is/whats better to use

[rocky canyon]

u should grab this extension

[rocky canyon]

b/c VSCode is better 🤪

[naive pawn]

neither is really better, they're just different tbh

[scenic perch]

I do have that, but it just isnt working the same

[naive pawn]

vscode works fine

[naive pawn]

make sure to configure your ide

!ide

[radiant void]

💡 IDE Configuration

If your IDE is not autocompleting code or underlining errors, please configure it.

Select one:

• Visual Studio (Installed via Unity Hub)
• Visual Studio (Installed manually)
• VS Code
• JetBrains Rider
• :question: Other/None

[scenic perch]

I believe mine is to my knowledge, I have it set in unity to use VsCode at least

[languid pagoda]

Yeah after you find the right combition of extensions to make it work, or you can just check a box when you're installing the editor and get a fully featured ide by default.

[naive pawn]

they're different. the abc icon means it's just pulling tokens rather than being aware of the context

[rocky canyon]

ahh cool

[naive pawn]

it's literally just clicking like, 4 buttons

[naive pawn]

make sure to actually install .net too
command palette -> install .net system wide

[languid pagoda]

does vs code support debugging?

[rocky canyon]

i lose track now-days with the AI the snippets, and just the Extensions in general getting better all the time

[languid pagoda]

breakpoints and reading variables while running the game

[rocky canyon]

ya, with the C# devkit + debugger and stuff

[naive pawn]

vscode the ide itself supports those, but not sure about with unity, i don't really use debugging in general lol
i should do that more tbh..

[cunning bramble]

hi @rocky canyon i have made this like you did but i doesnt get shown in the Inspector PLEAS help i dont know xD

[rocky canyon]

i just troll a bit... (i use vscode because i do hardware embedded development as well)

its easier to use 1 ide for everything

[naive pawn]

what doesn't get shown in the inspector exactly?

[cunning bramble]

Urmmm

The canMove

[naive pawn]

exactly! i never understand the hype over jetbrains' suite lmao

[languid pagoda]

You didn't make it plublic

[rocky canyon]

^ my guess as well 😛

[naive pawn]

an entirely separate ide to configure for each language? that's insane

[cunning bramble]

I can show you I DID

!code

[radiant void]

Posting code

📃 Large Code Blocks

Use links to services like:
https://paste.mod.gg/, https://hastebin.skyra.pw/, https://paste.ofcode.org/, https://paste.myst.rs/

Surround code with three backquotes. Not quotation marks.
To format as C#, add cs to the first line:
```cs

Add a comment with a line number if there is an error message.

[naive pawn]

and have you saved and recompiled

[rocky canyon]

then u have compile issues...

[cunning bramble]

https://paste.mod.gg/idwkvltugyfq/0

[rocky canyon]

theres really no need to summon the bot everytime u want to post code...

[scenic perch]

Just did that, but not sure it changed anything lol

[rocky canyon]

use a bookmark or write it down homie 😄

[cunning bramble]

bookmark?

[languid pagoda]

You know what pmo, jettbrains has a C# and C ide but the workflow for C projects in the C# ide is completely different than in the one for C so if you work with pinvoke a lot the more efficient workflow is to code your c in CLION and your c# in rider.

[rocky canyon]

ffs

[cunning bramble]

i did write it down but i got told to use this instad

Short version

[naive pawn]

yes, this is the wrong format to share code.

see the bot embed again.

[rocky canyon]

u can check ur .net tool in the output window i believe

[scenic perch]

I think my issue is some wierd intellisense setting tbh

[cunning bramble]

What do you mean?

[languid pagoda]

his question has been answered 3 times and hes still trying to fix it another way. All he litterally has to do is remove the capsule collider from his CharacterController gameobject

[naive pawn]

exactly lmao, and then vs just supports some languages and doesn't support others

[rocky canyon]

make sure you have No Problems

[naive pawn]

Debug.Log($"asdf { a * b * c < 0 || x || y * z }"); <-- bad

Debug.Log($"asdf { a * b * c < 0 || x || _y * z_ }");   <-- better

[cosmic dagger]

@cunning bramble This is not formatted. At least check the pin you keep summoning . . .

[cunning bramble]

Okay so i remove the capsule thing?

[naive pawn]

that was what you were told to do several messages ago, yes

[languid pagoda]

That will most likely fix your problem

[rocky canyon]

you don't need (2) colliders especially when they're overlapping

[naive pawn]

make sure it installed successfully

[rocky canyon]

the CharacterController is a collider

[scenic perch]

Believe it did, it said done in the command area at the bottom

[languid pagoda]

and chances are the two colliders overlapping is whats causing your weird slidy behavior

[naive pawn]

alright now reload window (restart vscode or via command palette)

[scenic perch]

Ahh alright

Yep that fixed it, it seems

tysm, would not have figured that out lol

The simple turning it off and on again

[naive pawn]

this has consistently worked actually. wonder why these aren't described in the config instructions

[scenic perch]

Yeah funky stuff

[scenic perch]

(also why doesnt it just auto do it if its needed anyways)

[rocky canyon]

guess the same applies to IDE's too 🙂

[naive pawn]

oh they are mentioned in vertx's instructions

[rocky canyon]

welll its not always needed

I can write my HTML + CSS (webdev) in VScode.. and i wouldnt need any of that crap

[scenic perch]

Hm true

[rocky canyon]

its modular..

[naive pawn]

vertx's is much clearer than microsoft's, damn

[naive pawn]

because vscode is not an ide, it's just a really extensible text editor (that comes with enough built-in extensions to act like an ide)

[scenic perch]

Ohh okay that makes sense

[cunning bramble]

Okay so i removed the character controller but now i get 100+ error messages so my idea is to complettly delete the capsule or only leave the capsule colider

[scenic perch]

More open-source n all that too which I do enjoy

[rocky canyon]

we just force it to work as hard as does >8)

im a sucker for the UI + all the extensions

[naive pawn]

yeah if you were trying to use the capsule collider in code then that wouldn't be possible anymore

[cunning bramble]

[languid pagoda]

leave the character controller on the script and take off the capsule collider.

[cunning bramble]

ahhuurrmmm okay

[naive pawn]

not sure why this is a surprise to you

[languid pagoda]

like are you trolling us right now?

[rocky canyon]

ok fr.. im stepping out this time

[languid pagoda]

we all tell you remove capsule collider and you took off character controller

aint no way you''re being fr rn

[cunning bramble]

NO i am just over used today xD i mean i am doing this like since 14 hrs or so

[naive pawn]

ok, rest

that is the single most productive thing you can do

[cunning bramble]

ahhh

I am sorry guys i read it it wrong 😂

I am stupid sorry

[naive pawn]

nope, you're tired

this is what happens when you overwork yourself

[languid pagoda]

This is what happens when you try to jump head deep in development making a game tbh

[novel aurora]

is there an area for C++ in this one?

[languid pagoda]

gotta learn the fundamentals

[naive pawn]

can't really use c++ with unity, so no

[languid pagoda]

yes you can ask your question

[novel aurora]

rip

[languid pagoda]

like 40% of my codebase is in c/c++

[eternal needle]

c++ would be offtopic, find a c++ related server or DM them

[languid pagoda]

the engine supports c++ plugins it wouldn't be offtopic this is a code channel not a c# channel

[naive pawn]

let's disambiguate then

@novel aurora is your question related to unity?

[cunning bramble]

Okay works now...

[novel aurora]

no, its not related to unity, im doing visual studio

[naive pawn]

cool, this is not the place to ask then

case closed

[languid pagoda]

then why are you asking in the unity discord

[novel aurora]

jesus chris, its because i wanted to know if there a SEPERATE AREA FOR IT

that all im asking

[naive pawn]

aightt you got your answer we don't need to prolong this unnecessarily

you should be able to find prominent c/c++ servers just by googling

if not that, then general programming servers like tph or tcd

[novel aurora]

alright

[naive pawn]

(for future reference, this entire server is unity-focused)

[languid pagoda]

how much code was this lol cause honestly thinking about it in my head this is going to be a lot lol. Gotta code raycasts to keep the car from hitting the wall, keep the car from hitting other cars etc etc.

[cunning bramble]

Kinda like this emoji

[rocky canyon]

little more than 1000 lines iirc

[winged ridge]

[rocky canyon]

the rays in the front were to tell the car if there was another car in front of it.. and how closely to draft it
the rays on the outsides worked differently... the closer to the middle would steer it more aggressively than the ones on the outside.. and i think i also had trigger colliders (like spheres) around it as well for "proximity" type sensors

and also i used "ghost" cars.. so the car would "project itself" forward depending on its speed... and all those combined would make the decisions.. then it was all about that fine-tuning of values..
steering angles, the smoothing between those angles.. accel and de-acel speeds and so on

they weren't very "competitive" tho ngl.. i was just happy they made it around the track on their own 🙂

if i had kept going i probably coulda made it more competitive and drive more aggressively.. but it was really more of a proof of concept (using sensor arrays like a self-driving car would) sonar, lidar, so on

not mine.. but it was very similar b/c i also used gizmos out the wahzoo

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQps_DfIep8 watch some devlogs

see how other ppl do it

[summer wren]

Do you guys like it at the moment? (I use the free icons as assets for testing purposes; Terminal, Explorer, Folder icons)
Just need drag and drop from Desktop to Explorer grid and vice versa now xD

[rocky canyon]

ohh and waypoints.. i forgot to mention.. it would use waypoints to know which way to go around the track..
but it wasn't a spline.. it had to figure out how to get to the waypoints on its own

[summer wren]

Oh gosh how to post video link correctly?

[rocky canyon]

.mp4

upload or link

[languid pagoda]

So how did the car know when to break when the raycasts infront were no longer hitting the road?

[summer wren]

https://streamable.com/i9njbe
Is this okay? Sorry. It created raw link hehe.

[rocky canyon]

no i had barriers.. there was always something in front

but it used distanced + speed + the raycast hit

my rays were basically infinite.. (i didn't really cap them..)

it was more of the switch statements and conditionals that were always checking the hit comparing the distance all that

[summer wren]

My project is like an OS hacking game with NPC's, networks, players etc hehe. Like Grey Hack eventually. Inspired by that.
I also have a 2D skilling game project with login and register support with NodeJS server yay. Excited

[languid pagoda]

hmm ill probably have to handle it a little differently, my tracks are not flat so sometimes there may not always be a hit

[rocky canyon]

but like if the hit was way way out in front the code would just ignore them

[languid pagoda]

Thanks for all the info

[rocky canyon]

ohh thats true.. thats another thing i hadn't considered

would be the hills and peaks and stuff

[languid pagoda]

this gives me a good general idea

[zinc tundra]

guys.. I imported a character controller asset, without touching it the character keyboard control still doesnt work...

[rocky canyon]

could raycast up into the sky for a good portion

[zinc tundra]

i think am going insane

[winged ridge]

Or raycast down doing a check for the ground if you put one in front of the car

[rocky canyon]

u can use a system like this + waypoints + triggers and stuff to come up with a pretty decent AI driving

[zinc tundra]

this is the error it got

[rocky canyon]

ya... u can't call Move() on a CC thats disabled

lol... if ur CC is disabled.. u might want to run a check in ur code to see that it is

[summer wren]

Anyone interested in such a project? In-game OS system with functional terminal, custom caret, etc? 🙂
Almost have file system and desktop stuff completed.
For potential colab?
I get lonely coding alone.

[rocky canyon]

b/4 calling that function

isCCEnabled -> if so we can Move()
isCCEnabled -> if not we shouldn't call Move()

[rocky canyon]

[winged ridge]

I'm willing to help out for sure, but as I'm working on my own personal project it would be difficult to split time

[summer wren]

Oh gosh sorry. Thanks xD

[rocky canyon]

no problem 👍

[zinc tundra]

what

[rocky canyon]

If this is not enabled

[summer wren]

No rush at all! Sometimes I take a day or two off from it. I just know that it has potential. 🙂
I shall drop you a message my good friend.

[rocky canyon]

then the script thats calling Move() gives u this error

[zinc tundra]

it works with rigidbody

[rocky canyon]

FirstPersonController.cs line number 117 which is the Update() loop that calls ur Move() function or a method with that function

line 198 is probably the Move() function..

u can't call that on a CC component that is disabled

[rocky canyon]

ya they're not always accurate

[slow blaze]

how can I play a gameObject's animation to its end to make a vfx? its a 2D game

[rocky canyon]

but its around-ish

[zinc tundra]

i downloaded that asset
https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/3d/characters/modular-first-person-controller-189884

and i literally just pulled it into my project

[rocky canyon]

no clue then.. you'd want to ask them.. hit up their support

[zinc tundra]

i can send there the code

but its 750ish line long lmao

[rocky canyon]

https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/physics/kinematic-character-controller-99131?
this is the one i've used in the past

[rocky canyon]

ya, thats alot of code to look thru for an error thats someone elses fault 😅

if ur using the prefab they have in there there shouldn't be any errors..

else thats a crap asset.. i'd reach out and check or see what teh comments say about it

[zinc tundra]

w8 new error appeared

[languid pagoda]

bro are you not reading the error?

this has nothing to do with code as you been told

[rocky canyon]

ya, same error.. it means the same thing... https://discussions.unity.com/t/charactercontroller-move-called-on-inactive-controller/674532

i think they're "winging it" as far as they can

[languid pagoda]

click on your player look in the inspector you got a component disabled

[rocky canyon]

#💻┃code-beginner message as said

[zinc tundra]

that would be funny, since i still literally just pulled in

didnt add or disabled anything

[languid pagoda]

bro its a free asset you cant expect it to be good

[rocky canyon]

yea.. but u gotta start using critical thinking..

it may be possible.. that its accidently disabled

[languid pagoda]

hell even half of the paid assets on the ass store are junk

so ofc the free ones going to be problematic

[zinc tundra]

but a simple w a s d and jump space code man

how could be problematic
